Welcome to the June 2005 edition of the Federal Citizen Information Center's FEDINFO E-letter! These subscription e-letters from Pueblo are sent 6-8 times a year with helpful updates, practical information, and special offers to make your life a little easier. You can always find the latest information at our websites: Pueblo.gsa.gov and www.USA.gov. This issue includes: CELEBRATE INDEPENDENCE DAY
Independence Day honors the birthday of the United States of America -- the signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. It is a day of picnics and patriotic parades, a night of concerts and fireworks, and a special day to fly the American flag. Kick off your July 4th celebration at USA.gov's "July 4th is Independence Day" page. On this page you'll find: FOOD SAFETY TIPS FOR A SAFE AND HEALTHY 4TH OF JULY Before you fire up that grill to celebrate Independence Day, here are a few reminders to prevent food-borne illness or food contamination: For more food safety tips, check out FDA's Food Safety Tips for a Safe and Healthy 4th of July. NATIONAL RECREATION AND PARKS MONTH July is National Recreation and Parks Month! That means it's time to get outside and enjoy the sunshine! Check out "Walk on the Wild Side" to get to know the sights, sounds and smells of America's big backyard. You'll find games, puzzles and other activities to teach children more about fish, wildlife and how to help keep America's public lands beautiful and healthy. Then reward your kids' newfound knowledge (and yours) of wildlife with an outdoor adventure. Use the National Park Guide to plan a visit to one of our country's more than 300 parks, monuments and historic sites. You can find the perfect park by searching alphabetically; by state, region, or zip code; or even by your particular outdoor interests.
